The Decline of Western Civilization

Heard in Starbucks this morning: "Okay, here's your grande decaf sugar-free vanilla skim latte."

Really? What's the point?!

Think back-- did the woman who ordered the drink take it, remove the lid, deeply inhale the aroma, and then discard the beverage?

Was she accompanied by eerie singing, as though she was shadowed by a chorus of the damned?

Was there a scent of sulfur?

No? Then I think it's just one of the spoiled rich broads who live in or traverse the Palisades.
